I’m spreading the savings: How I snagged Sol de Janeiro Delícia Drench from the US for my Singapore vanity

March 24, 2026

Why I am obsessed with the Delícia Drench hype

My TikTok feed has been nothing but purple tubs and 'clean girl' aesthetic morning routines lately. I finally caved and tried the Sol de Janeiro Delícia Drench Body Butter, and I must admit, the hype is actually justified. It is not just about the scent—which is a dreamy mix of velvet plum and sugared violet—it is about that deep moisture that lasts through my entire day in the Singapore humidity without feeling sticky.

While everyone in Singapore seems to be hunting for this at local boutiques, I noticed the stock levels here are incredibly hit-or-miss. Plus, we often miss out on the exclusive value bundles that include the matching mist or travel sizes. To keep my routine consistent in 2026, I started looking toward the source: the United States.

The math behind my US shopping haul

I am a stickler for a good deal, and when I compared the prices, the choice became clear. A single tub of Delícia Drench in Singapore can easily set me back nearly 90 SGD when buying through resellers or high-end boutiques. Over in the US, the retail price sits around 48 USD (approximately 65 SGD). Even with shipping costs factored in, I find that buying two or three tubs at once—or grabbing a holiday bundle—saves me a significant amount of money.

I used their shipping calculator to see if my bulk order made sense, and the numbers didn't lie. Shipping multiple items together significantly drops the cost per unit.

Finding reliable stock in US stores

I have found that the most reliable way to get my hands on the full range is to shop US store options like Sephora US or the official Sol de Janeiro website. They often have the Delícia Drench in stock when our local shelves are empty. Since I have a tax-free US address through my forwarding service, I also avoid paying US sales tax, which adds even more to my savings.

My preferred freight forwarder for US orders

Since most US beauty retailers don't ship directly to Singapore—or they charge an arm and a leg to do so—I always use a freight forwarder. My go-to is comGateway because they make it easy to forward packages from multiple stores into one single box. This process, known as parcel forwarding service, is how I managed to get my body butter, some new leggings, and a tech gadget all in one shipment.

I find that using a package forwarding expert helps me avoid the headache of tracking multiple international parcels. If you're new to this, you should check out their FAQ or help center to see how the process works.

Shipping estimates for your purple tub

To help you plan your own haul, I’ve put together some estimates based on my recent order of the Sol de Janeiro Delícia Drench Body Butter (the standard 240ml size).

Factor Estimate
Box Weight Approx. 0.8 lbs (0.36 kg) per tub including packaging.
Box Dimensions Small. A single tub usually arrives in a box roughly 5x5x4 inches.
Volumetric Warning Body butter is quite dense, so the actual weight is usually higher than the volumetric weight. You won't be overcharged for space unless you buy a massive, empty box!
Battery Check This item contains no lithium batteries. It is safe for standard air travel.

Before you ship, I always recommend checking the list of prohibited items or restricted goods to ensure your other cart items are safe to fly. While creams are fine, some high-alcohol perfumes might have different shipping rules.

Singapore import rules and tax info for 2026

In 2026, Singapore's GST rules for low-value goods are well-established. When I import my beauty products, I make sure to account for the 9% GST. If your total order (including shipping) is over a certain threshold, you might have to pay additional duties, so I always use the estimate shipping cost tool to get a clear picture of my total landed cost. Even with the tax, the US price usually beats the local markup, especially when I'm buying the larger bundles that aren't even available in Singapore yet.

I’ve found that being a 'smart shopper' in Singapore isn't about buying less; it's about buying better. By leveraging a freight forwarder, I get the exact products I want without waiting for local retailers to catch up with the trends. If you have more questions, the support team at your forwarder is usually very helpful with specific Singapore customs queries.
